A use for Noxema you won't see on the label.....

"Doesn't your butt get sore....?" is a question I have been asked in conversations with family and friends when we talk about bike training.

To answer that question, just find yourself a slightly padded, 2 to 3 inch wide surface and sit on it for several hours while you move your legs back and forth like a duck in the water. You'll quickly find out the answer is yes!
So much so, that quite a few products exist to fight a burning crotch, or more commonly referred to as 'saddle sores'.

To prevent this dreaded condition you first start with a nice pair of cycling shorts that have a chamois for padding. Next you need to apply some sort of cream, suave or balm to to aid in the lubrication of that sensitive ne'er region,..... you know...down there. Most are outrageously expensive, like chamois butter or body glide. But the one I learned about is one I would not have even considered if someone hadn't told me about it. According to my source, I was told Noxema works great and is much more economical. Sure enough, he was right! Not only does it provide nice lubrication, it's quite cool and kinda tingly! Just what the doctor ordered for those long rides.

So if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to prevent chafing and want a cool, tingly sensation, give that old Noxema a try, you'll be glad you did!
